Product catalog summary
Introduction
Surface Technology Coatings, a division of Sutton Tools, specializes in advanced coating technologies. The company is located in Thomastown, Victoria, and is committed to supporting Australian manufacturing through innovation and technology.

Futura Nano Coating (TiAlN)
Futura Nano, a Titanium Aluminium Nitride (TiAlN) coating, is designed for high-speed steel (HSS) and carbide tools. It is particularly effective in applications with high thermal loads due to its nanolayered structure, which balances hardness and internal stress. This structure helps reduce crack propagation, enhancing tool longevity.

Applications and Benefits
  • Suitable for abrasive materials like cast iron and heat-treated steel.
  • Effective on difficult-to-machine materials such as stainless steel.
  • Enables higher speeds and feeds, reducing or eliminating the need for coolants.

Performance Improvements
  • Facilitates higher speed and feed machining.
  • Supports dry or Minimum Quantity Lubrication (MQL) machining.
  • Capable of machining harder materials.

Technical Specifications
  • Color: Violet-Grey
  • Coating Thickness: 4 µm
  • Microhardness: 3300HV
  • Thermal Stability: Up to 900ºC
  • Coefficient of Friction vs Steel: 0.3 - 0.35

Commitment to Innovation
Surface Technology Coatings invests heavily in research and development to combine cutting-edge technology with Australian ingenuity. This commitment supports Australian manufacturing on a global scale.

Partnership with DMTC Ltd.
Surface Technology Coatings, along with its parent company Sutton Tools Pty Ltd, is a key financial partner in the Defence Materials Technology Centre (DMTC Ltd.). This partnership involves collaboration with government and industry to advance materials and manufacturing technology for Australian Defence. The installation of the Innova Coating System at Surface Technology Coatings is a testament to their commitment to world-class practices and innovation.

TiAlN-1

Futura Nano TiAIN (Titanium Aluminium Nitride) Futura Nano (TiAIN), produced in the INNOVA, is a great all round coating for both HSS and carbide tools, especially in applications where there is a high thermal load. TiAIN has a nanolayered structure which was engineered to give an optimum balance between hardness and internal stress. High internal compressive stresses help to reduce the propagation of cracks through a coating therefore delaying the onset of failure. TiAIN also has improved sliding properties. • Abrasive materials - cast iron and heat treated steel • Difficult to machine materials, such • Higher speeds and feeds Improved Performance with • Higher speed and feed machining • Machining of harder materials Violet - Grey Coating Thickness Coeff.
